“This is Bobby Traversa, co-host of the podcast My Favorite Flop. And not only am I a self-proclaimed flop-o-holic, I’d also consider myself a Carrie connoisseur, having been a member of the various related chat boards/trading groups/etc since the earliest days of their existence on the internet. I “bought” the same sketchy VHS that host Chris did, and while I was not interviewed as part of this podcast, I imagine I have connections to some of the folks that were.
I say all of that just to show how high the bar was for me going into this... and after two episodes, I’m completely hooked! What a lovely treat that Chris and Holly have given us during this pandemic! For us die-hards, the included interviews help to put in context many of the rumors/legend/lore that we’ve devoured over the years... and for the newbies/Riverdale generation, what an uplifting and thorough look at such an important piece of Broadway history!
When I discovered Carrie in high school, people poked fun. It was considered the biggest flop in Broadway history and had to be “bad”. As I studied musical theatre professionally in college, that attitude continued. Many people wrote the show off before even giving it a chance due to its reputation. That narrative has, thankfully, changed thanks to the 2012 revisal of the material and Riverdale exposure (it’s one of the most popular licensed musicals in high schools in the US!) But this... it really is a docuseries, isn’t it?... this docuseries really opens up in a positive and welcoming way to allow fans of all kinds the ability to dive in to the legend itself and perhaps piece together what went wrong.
Looking forward to the rest of this. Great job!”

“This is a dream podcast for me - Carrie is a great musical with such an incredible journey to the stage. Chris and Holly have fully investigated everything that happened and they tell the story with charm and humor.
This is my favorite podcast ever, and I hope this team will do more like it!”

“Couldn’t have possibly enjoyed this more. I love theater but barely knew of Carrie when I started listening. Less than a week later I’m bingeing bootlegs on YouTube. I love that the hosts have genuine affection for this troubled show and respect everyone involved - it’s juicy & funny without...”Read full review »
